Sheaffer

Web Site: www.sheaffer.com

Founded by Walter A. Sheaffer in Fort Madison, Iowa, in the back room of his jewelry store. Started producing their own pens in 1912 and in 1913 the company had seven employees. The company is known for a number of important design aspects of fountain pens including the first practical lever filling fountain pen. That earned Walter Sheaffer a U.S. patent in August of 1908. Today it may seem like a small thing, but at the time it was significant. A single stroke of a slim metal lever is used to fill the pen reservoir directly from the ink bottle. No more hand filling pens with eye droppers!.

Enthusiastic response was met, Sheaffer risked his life savings to establish the W.A. Sheaffer Pen Company in 1912.

In 1966 Sheaffer became part of Textron Inc. and in 1976 a division of the Eaton Paper Com. The company was next taken over by BIC.

In April 2011 Morton Clarke & Co. Ltd is the national distributor for Sheaffer products in Canada.

In 2014 Cross purchased Sheaffer.
